Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Knee Injury, CT Scan Showed Bulge In Vein Or Artery, Advised Ortho Consultation. What Could Be Wrong?
My daughter injured her right knee during a softball game. She first had a MRI, then her family doctor called back and said they were requesting a CT Scan with the dye (IV). When I called for results today, her family doctor said the CT scan showed a slight buldge in a vein or artery in her knee and is sending her to an Ortho. She could not tell me what this could be, only that it could be post-tramatic, which I don t understand. Coulkd you give me any other suggestions on what could be wrong?
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The swelling of a blood vessel in the knee could be due to the trauma that she had. An aneurysm needs to be ruled out. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal , drtayal72@gmail.com
